Ritual is a sin and temptation. It removes us from Loving / Serving / Being the Sacrafice.

How can I show you this?

It is Sunday morning, you are in church or at the synagogue on Saturday. You learn that the roof over the children's Religius School just collapsed. You must choose, right?

You must choose how you will live in the face of planet wide suffering:

A. Ritual and Worship;

B. Life of Courageous Sacrifice and Service.

We are finite beings with finite resources and finite time. Every second that you spend on ritual is time you could be lifting rubble off of crushed children.
